lilies Burned Out of Their Homes.
SAN Francisco, November 25th.-[Spe-
cial. IA disastrous fire occurred this after
noon at the Potrero, which caused loss of
$4,000. The fire started in the Union Ho-
tel, on Michigan street, between Napa and
Shasta streets, owned by 2. Schultz. The
Huntington House was next burned, and
soon the block bounded by Illinois, Shasta
Napa and Michigan streets was in flames.
The fire could not be stopped, owing to the
lack of water, and the houses on three
blocks were soon in flames. The fire-boat
was sent to the scene and pumped water
through $50 feet of hose, but was able to
accomplish but little.
At one time the Union Iron works was in
some danger. 1t is estimated that nearly
one hundred families are made homeless
by the fire. August Schultz, of the Union
Hotel, and Lynch G. Stinson are the chief
losers

A FEMALE TRAMP.
A Woman Whose Home was in the
Mountain Wilds of Oregon.

lcopyig, 1887. by the California Associated Press.
SALEM, November 25th-To-day woman
named Rebecca Hoffman was brought
down from Jefferson, having been found
there by citizens wandering about in a
strange manner, and anable to give salts
factory account of herself She spent last
night in the woods near there beside a
small fire, under no shelter, and with no
protection against the extreme cold but a
shawl. She was examined by two ply
sicians, and reeited strange tale of her
wanderings during the past four years.
She started originally from Canada, and
came West, adopting the customs and en-
during the hardships of ordinary tramp
life. She spent last winter in Dakota, and
then headed for Oregon. She had been in
this county for some days, living in the
woods and by the roadside, begging her
board, but never accepting the shelter of
any hospitable home. She is not the same
tramp reported from Linn county recently.
She was committed to the asylum Some
of her actions evidently indicate an un-
balanced mind.

immediate resignation. The press unan-

LATEST PHASE OF THE CRISIS.
PARIS, November 25th.-Le Paris SAYS :
Rouyier has agreed to read President
Grevys message only on condition that the
latter withdraw his acceptance of the resig-
nation of the Ministry. Rouvier reproached
the PRESIDENT for SO hurriedly accepting
the Ministers resignation"
1t is reported that on Rouvier's advice,
Wilson actually signed the letter of resig-
nation in order to avoid endangering
Grevy's position, but later, seeing that it
would amount to an admission of Wilson's
guilt, the President and Wilson agreed to
cancel the letter.
Maider de MonJou is actively canvassing
on behalf of the proposed resolution ex-
pressing confidence in Grevy. Although
the feeling against Grevy has somewhat
abated, it is thought unlikely that his
friends efforts will be successful.

Singing Under Fire.

The Northern and Southern armies
which fought each other during the civil
war were noted for the hundreds of pious
men who served as privates and as officers.
Prayer meetings, services of sacred song,
and preaching abounded, and sometimes
the voice of the Chaplain was lifted up
amid the roar of cannon.
The Rev. J. W. Jones, Chaplain in the
Army of Northern Virginia, tells of re-
ligious meeting which was dispersed by
the shells of the Union army.
Early's brigade was in front of Pope's
army, and at an intimation that there
would be preaching solid acre of eager
listeners gathered. An artillery duel was
going on across the Rappahannock, and
now and then the shrek of a shell passing
over the heads of the congregation min
gled with the voice of Sung.
As the last hymn before the sermon was
being sung huge rifle she'll fell in the
center of the worshipers. 1t passed be-
tween two officers and buried itself in the
ground, throwing dirt all around, but did
not explode.
There was a sudden movement back
from the spot, but the leader of the sing
ing sang on without faltering. AS the
preacher rose, an officer suggested the sus-
pension of the service until the brigade
could be moved under the protection Of an
intervening hill
As the throng moved away shell did
explode and killed and wounded five men.
After the service the Chaplain went back
to the spot whence they had moved and
found that twenty shells had fallen and
exploded in the space Youths Compan-
ion.

hanged at san Jose.
ICopyight, 1887, by TIE California associated Press:
SAN JOSE, November 25th.-At l1:45
O'Clock to-day Charles Goslaw was hanged
In the county jail-yard for the murder of
II. A. Grant, his ex-partner, at Los Gatos,
on January 10Th last. Grant died two days
after the injuries inflicted by Goslaw. Cos
law surrendered himself on a charge of
battery the night that the trouble occurred.
He was tried and found guilty in March
last, and sentenced to death An appeal
for new trial was denied by the Supreme
Court, and all efforts to have his sentence
commuted were unavailing.
Goslaw parted from his wife and two
children on Wednesday last. During the
past week he embraced the Catholic faith.
This morning, before leaving his cell, pray
ers were said, and he was absolved BY Rev,
Father Ricardo, who was accompanied by
Rev. Father Colzi.
ON THE sCAfFoLD.
AT 11:40 A. NJ. the condemned man, to.
gether with the priests, Sheriff, Deputy
Sheriff and reporters, took up the march
to the scaffold. He gave no evidence ot
fear, and mounted the steps firmly. On
the platform he took his position on the
trap and repeated prayer after Father
Ricardo, who stood in front of him. AS
he finished the prayer, the condemned
man said good-by to his friends, and
added:
" hope to meet you in heaven. Tell
the home folks how l died" These were
his last words.
The Sheriff and his deputies were very
nervous in adjusting the rope, and Goslaw
was still expecting to talk when the black
cap was pulled down over his head. A
moment later the thread holding the trap
spring was cut, and Gosaw fell through at
11:45. The fall was six feet nine inches,
His neck was broken.
AT the end of fourteen and a half min
utes he was announced dead. No effort
was made to revive him, as was expected.
His remains were given to his friends and
will be buried at Santa Clara tomorrow.

New MODE OF WASHING The i'll
effects of soda on linen have given rise to
a new method of washing, which has been
extensively adopted in Germany and in
trodueed into Belgium. The operation
consists in dissolving two pounds of soap
in about three gallons of water as hot as
the hand can bear, and adding to this one
tablespoonful of turpentine, and three of
ammonia. The mixture must then be well
stirred, and the linen stepped in it for two
or three hours, taking care to cover up the
vessel containing them as nearly heremeti-
cally as possible The clothes are after
ward washed out and rinsed in the usual
way The soap and water may be reheated
and used a second time, but in that case
half tablespoonful of turpentine and a
tablespoonful of ammonia must be added.
The process is said to cause a great econ
omy of time, labor and fuel The linen
scarcely suffers at all, as there is little ne
cessity for rubbing, and its cleanliness and
color are perfect. The ammonia and turpen-
tine, although their detersive action is
great, have no injurious effect upon the linen,
and while the former evaporates immedi-
ately, the smell of the latter is said to dis
appear entirely during the drying of the

MODERN WRITERS.
Charge That the Scribblers of To-Day
 Are Guilty of Literary Log Rolling.

Charge That the ScribbIers of To-Day
 Are Guilty of Literary Log Rolling.
 A a matter of fact, the lives of the swarm of writers who to-day are and tomorrow disappear, are of no more importance than the lives of physicians and lawyers, or, indeed, butchers, bakers and grocers. Their exaggerated ideas of their own consequence, their pushing efforts for self-advancement, may be characteristic of an advertising age. But all this is not characteristic of an age which produces permanent literature. Nothing permanent can be written by one who is constantly posing before the public.
 There was a time when the doctor, lawyer and clergyman were regarded as a sacred triad in New England, as superior to the rest of mankind. Something of a similar superstition con- cerning the writer still remains, and vast multitude of men, women and children, who have succeeded in pass ing a stray bit of prose or verse through the printing-press, seek to profit by it. Most of those who write to-day labor under the delusion that they are pro- ducing ''literature. The great mass of con temporary writing has no more to do with literature than a grocer's bill. One can fancy Thackeray among us chuckling over this tremendous pow-wow about the ''New York liter ary movement" the young Boston literary school" the great American novel; of Smith, the immortal verse" and the domestic habits of Brown
 There have always been exhibitions of egotism; thero has always been non- sense talked and acted wherever au- thors have congregated; but to men whose work has become classic much may be forgiven. The opportu- mites for publicity to-day are greater than ever before, the self-display of "literature' is more conspicuous; but how many ''classics' are we producing? Of the flood of current writings, how much will be held worthy of note even, by histori- ans, in fifty years? Plenty of clever work is being done, for almost every one is clever in this age, but nothing great. Why not be modest enough to acknowledge OUT littleness? There arc writers who work quietly and sensiblY. Their self-respect keeps them from noisily parading themselves and their personal affairs before the public. But the self-consequence of many of our writers and their eagerness for notice have become stock jest even with newspaper humorists. The curse of the American literary work of the day is its self-csnsciousness.- .-Frdnk Les le'S Illustrated Weekly.

The Word "Hurrah."

What was the origin of the exclama ton "Hurrah?" There are few words still in use which can boast such re- mote and widely extended prevalence as this. It is one of those interjections in which sound so echoes sense that men seem to have adopted it almost in- stinctively. In India and Ceylon the mahouts and attendants of baggage elephants cheer them on by perpetual repetitions of 'ur-re-rer' The Arabs and camel-drivers in Turkey, Palestine and Egypt encourage their animals to speed by shouting ''ar-re ar-rer The Moors in Spain drive their mules and horses with cries of "ar-re" In France the sportsman exeites the hounds by his shouts of ''hare, harer and wagoners turn their horses by crying ''harhautr The herdsmen of Ireland and Scotland shout ''hurrish! hurrishr' to the cattle they are driving. It is evidently an exclamation common to many nations, and is probably corruption of Fur aie" CThor aid), battle-cry of the ancient Norsemen, though some au- thorities derive it from the Jewish 'Hosannah. The word is very often, and was formerly invariably, spelt ''huzza,' and its pronunciation was ''hurray. "-P Philadelphia Call.
